It is quite normal for women to be employed in female-dominated sectors but times have changed in such a way that women are now ready to break barriers. As such they are ready to challenge themselves and go for what they like. Gone are the days when different fields were categorized as suitable for men and women. At a time when equality has become a topic tabled for discussion, organizations are now looking at giving equal opportunities for men and women. One such organisation is Diesel and Motor Engineering Company PLC (DIMO) where it has been encouraged women to take up unconventional positions as mechanics, service advisors and the like and to progress in their career.
